Internet radios - can I access BBC iplayer?

[MollieO]

I'm looking at getting this Roberts radio. It is quite expensive and the main reason for getting it would be to access radio programmes on BBC iplayer. It says I can access BBC Listen Again but I'm not sure that is the same as Iplayer, or is it?

'listen again' does mean the radio programmes available on iplayer. Certainly that is what a lot of people appear to be using this radio for. The Roberts radio gets great reviews and looks good but a quick read of forums suggests that you can't pause / rewind 'listen again' programmes on it. I would do some more research to verify this. Hopefully someone with personal experience of this Radio will come along soon.

Btw, I have a Logitech Squeezebox Boom (and as a household we have 3 further Squeezeboxes + other squeezebox enabled devices - we love them!). I listen to loads of 'listen again' programmes with the ability to pause / rewind (+ audio books, own music, LastFM, spotify). I think that setup may be more complex than the Roberts though, there is no FM and you need to have a PC (or in our case a server) running all the time to get the most out of it.

And the other internet radio that gets compared is one from Pure.

Thanks. Not bothered re make of radio but I don't want to buy one and find I can't access the programmes I want.
